jhonyy9 · Answer

write 6x+5=3x+13

and solve this for x

xXQuintonXx · Answer

9x+18?

xXQuintonXx · Answer

like that?

jhonyy9 · Answer

like a first step subtract from both sides 3x

jhonyy9 · Answer

6x-3x+5=3x-3x+13

kittybasil · Answer

But, $6x+5\ne3x+13$? Those are not equal angles. No?

xXQuintonXx · Answer

so would i subtract the one with the 6 or 3 on the left side?

kittybasil · Answer

Aren't they supplementary angles?

jhonyy9 · Answer

these are - wan be angles measures ? i ve thought are line segments

kittybasil · Answer

I see why  there is confusion. I also don't know for sure though. Doesn't seem like enough information to tell us how to solve for line segment.

Instead - I think it's this.

xXQuintonXx · Answer

e.e the confusion

kittybasil · Answer

are you currently covering angles or segments, Quinton?

xXQuintonXx · Answer

i forgot how to do this stuff

jhonyy9 · Answer

so then you can write

6x +5 = 180 -(3x+13)

kittybasil · Answer

Ah, it's angles. OK, then we know for sure. See my previous image, the two angles added equal 180 degrees.

Now, follow Jhon's instructions 😊

use this to calcule the x value

xXQuintonXx · Answer

so i have to multiply something with 6 to make 180 right? and then do the stuff in the parthasese's

kittybasil · Answer

what he means is$$(6x+5)+(3x+13)=180$$but he moved one of those parentheticals to the other side is all. I am just rephrasing it in LaTeX for easier reading but refer to his tips. :P

xXQuintonXx · Answer

so i have to get a number that would have it so that x would be able to be multiplied by 6 and 3 so that you can add 18 to get 180?

kittybasil · Answer

The gist of this is to solve for $x$ which means you need to isolate it. Like, get $x=?$ in the end result.

xXQuintonXx · Answer

ik but i would have to get it so that i could equal 180 at the end right?

kittybasil · Answer

Well yes. Do you know where to go from here or would you like more details?

xXQuintonXx · Answer

i think i have a good idea of it now

kittybasil · Answer

Okay. Just in case though I will give you a head start tip.$$6x+5+3x+13=180$$$$6x+3x+5+13=180$$$$9x+18=180$$Hope that helps ☺

xXQuintonXx · Answer

x=18

xXQuintonXx · Answer

right?

kittybasil · Answer

...wait what?

xXQuintonXx · Answer

im like 99% sure i did this wrong now lol

kittybasil · Answer

Nah I was working through it using the stuff I typed. You right my man

xXQuintonXx · Answer

so x = 18

kittybasil · Answer

Yep, wolfram said you're right!

kittybasil · Answer

Just so you have an actual verified check and not me spouting random nonsense. :p

xXQuintonXx · Answer

all i did was multiply 18 with 6 and 3 then added 18 XD

xXQuintonXx · Answer

sence 15+3=18

Well, not sure what you did but this is the gist of what the steps should look like. Then moving on it would be$$9x=180-18$$$$9x=162$$$$x=162\div9=18$$And there's your answer. Is that how you got it?
